Yes. Faster too.

I’d recomed giving Fedora a shot. Fedora + Niri / Noctalia is my daily driver now. But Fedora KDE is great on its own.

Not everything you hear is true. LLMs are responsible for finding and helping fix thousands of bugs.

There is a big difference between a professional coders being assisted by a LLM and “AI slop”. I hate AI slop, but not all LLM assisted code is slop.

Mint back in the day had a valid reason for being. It made installing proprietary codecs and drivers easy. It was based on Ubuntu but handled the stuff that Ubuntu just refused to.

Now days Ubuntu handles proprietary codecs and drivers very well. There is no “point” to using Mint now. You get a downstream smaller community and lose the support that that larger upstream distro has.

Mint isn’t bad per say, but in 2026 I don’t see why you would choose it instead of the thing it’s based on.

I mostly get concerned when I see new to Linux users choose smaller less well supported distros instead if mainstream ones. Less so with mint but very much so with Zorin.

I mean Linux itself heavily uses LLMs to assist in programming.

Also both Zorin OS and Mint are based on top of Ubuntu. So it would be the same except the distros are less used and have worse support.

Lastly I know some people on Lemmy really loud and assume that any LLM assisted coding = bugs and bad. But in reality neither Linux itself nor Ubuntu, nor Fedora are “vibe coded”. It’s mostly LLM assisted bug finding. They’re literally finding thousands of old (pre LLM) bugs per Linux kernel release.

I’d recommend trying fedora KDE or Ubuntu. Both are mainstream distros that are well supported and have up to date hardware support.

Nope. It’s written from scratch in rust. Not a fork at all.

Does this spam work on the fediverse?

If Obama gave a “minuscule” $1000 donation to prop 8 I would say the same. Having an opinion and being wrong, admitting it is different than giving $1000 to repress people even if you apologize.

(Obama has major issues aside this for the record but that is out of scope.)

But if you donated $1000 to repress people in 2008 or now yah you should be called out. Being sorry makes it better but does not undo the harm.

In 2008 I donated $20 to HRC to oppose people like the CEO of brave. He could have done the same or just done noting. He openly chose to repress LGBT+ people threw action.

What are you talking about? Donating $1000 to an anti human rights campaign was bigoted then and now. And since when is $1000 considered a “minuscule” donation? It’s like donating to the Israeli military. Don’t matter if it was in 2008 or 2026. You support genocide either way.

Being sorry is a good start. But being sorry does not excuse the action. But yes there are other critiques you can choose to do in addition to the CEO donating to an anti human rights campaign I will concede.

It is. I posted elsewhere but will do so here for visibility.

This is an ad for Brave. The creator of this site is Arthur Edelstein who is employed by Brave. 🙄

I am so sick of “privacy guides” that subtly try to push a crypto bro ad company browser.

Brave is a crypto bro run ad company who’s CEO is openly anti LGBT+.

The OG poster is a 12 day old account with a lot of submissions to try to hide that. I could easily write a bot to do the same to give “credibility”.
